Erling Haaland has renewed his contract with Manchester City, signing a long-term deal that will keep the Norwegian at the Etihad until 2034.
The striker’s previous deal, which reportedly included a release clause, had been due to expire in 2027.
Haaland’s new deal would see the striker remain with City until his 34th birthday should he stay at the club until its expiry in nine-and-a-half years’ time.
The length of Haaland’s deal is the longest in the Premier League, eclipsing the nine-year deal Cole Palmer signed with Chelsea last August.
Speaking during the deal, Haaland expressed happiness over the deal, saying Manchester City is a special club, full of fantastic people with amazing supporters and it’s the type of environment that helps bring the best out of everybody.
City’s Director of football, Txiki Begiristain, said the deal demonstrates the club's commitment to Haaland as a player and his love for the club.
He explained that Haaland's first season for City in 2022-23 was his most prolific, with 52 goals in all competitions scored at a rate of a goal every 79 minutes. His shot conversion rate was 28.7%.
Begiristain added that last season, Haaland scored 38 goals across all competitions at a rate of a goal every 98 minutes, and that has slipped this season to a goal every 118 minutes – with 22 so far.
